A
wireless Internet service provider WISP is an Internet service
provider with a network based on wireless networking. A facility allowing
computers smart phones or other devices to connect to the Internet or
communicate with one another wirelessly within a particular area. Wifi is a
technology that uses radio waves to provide network connectivity. A wifi
connection established using adapter to create hotspot area. Wi-Fi
is the name of a popular wireless networking technology that uses radio waves
to provide wireless high speed Internet and network connections. A
common misconception is that the term WiFi is short for wireless
fidelity however this is not the case. Wi-Fi is simply a trademarked
phrase that means IEEE 802.11x. Which is often just
known as Wi-Fi - is a way of getting broadband internet without
wires. Wi Fi allows you to connect several computers at once, anywhere
in the house - or if you have a laptop, to even use your computer in the
garden. You don't need to install extra phone lines or cables. Wireless
networks are computer networks that are not connected by cables of
any kind. The use of a wireless network enables enterprises to avoid the
costly process of introducing cables into buildings or as a connection between
different equipment locations. The word wireless
is dictionary defined as having no wires.
In networking terminology wireless
is the term used to describe any computer network where there is
no physical wired connection between sender and receiver but rather the network
is connected by radio waves and/or microwaves to maintain communications. Wireless
is a term used to describe telecommunications in which electromagnetic waves
rather than some form of wire carry the signal over part or the entire
communication path. Typically the way that a WISP operates is to order a
fiber circuit to the center of the area they wish to serve. From there the WISP
will start building backhauls gigabit wireless or fiber to elevated points in
the region such as a radio towers tall buildings grain silos or water towers.
Those locations will have access points to provide service to individual
customers or backhauls to other towers where they have more equipment. The WISP
may also use gigabit wireless links to connect a PoP Point of Presence to
several towers reducing the need to pay for fiber circuits to the tower. For
fixed wireless connections a small dish or antenna is mounted to the roof of
the customer's building and aligned to the WISP's nearest antenna site.
